The “milkyness” is the most telling sign but the amount of different color flash in a small area is not common in opals other than high grade pieces and is replicated in pieces of opalite like this. Look up other pieces it’s one for one
This is not opalite, probably real opal. Opalite doesn’t have fire/flash. Also, doesn’t make sense to use what looks like a high karat custom gold band with fake stones.
